5 Easy Ways to Go Social

Have you ever tried social media only to find yourself losing interest and/or the time to manage it? If you’re like most business owners, then you know how challenging it can be to manage a business and all the social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc… So what do you do? Well, many people have found success by starting small and set aside just 20 minutes a day to join the social conversation.

I know, I know. You can hardly check your email in 20 minutes, much less manage an entire social media network for your business. Hang on though. I promise to show you 5 simple ways to get in and out in 20 minutes or less so you can stop dreading everything that goes tweet.

Facebook Polls

Ask your audience anything at all. Seriously. Using a Facebook poll is a great way to gain insight into your customer base and it hardly takes 60 seconds to write a question. Just do it.

Re-tweets

Can’t think of anything clever to post on twitter. Try re-tweeting what someone else said or an interesting article so that people know you’re still alive. Again, 15 seconds max and you’re done.

Facebook Likes

This may be the easiest way to stay active in the social sphere. View your news feed on Facebook and find something you like, (post, picture, comment, etc..)

Google Plus

Same concept as Facebook like, except plus 1 anything on your news feed that you like.

Shared Videos

Find a video you like and post it on your Facebook, Google+, or Twitter feed.

Now that you know how to manage social media in as little as 20 minutes a day, go out and try it for your self. I bet you cut the time in half once you get the hang of it. Good luck!
